Solved: Re: Samsung Dex wont run Message + or Kindle after... - Page 2 - Samsung Community

Hi all,

I primarily use the Samsung DeX for my working/playing screen to view my emails, browse social media and play games. I prefer the screen sizing in DeX

My Message+ app is useful for texting for a part time work I do from home. I cannot see some texts from some people (android users, I think) but I can for sure from Apple phones. I use it a lot! For my reading, every night, I use Kindle app.

On 12/10/22 received a software update on my Galaxy Tab S8+. When I turned my Tablet back on, launched DeX. At some point later yesterday, I realized Messages + can no longer run in DeX as well as my Kindle app. Both say to open in Tablet mode.

What caused this change and how do I get it back? It will be a pain switching from DeX to Tablet mode for answering or sending texts during the day. I get information sent to me which I have to respond, print or work on. I can use another Messaging service but I have really ruled out most of them for my needs.

As far as the Kindle app, I can use it in Tab mode since I use it late at night, but I don't like that full screen on it when reading. I think I saw or heard about resizing the screens, going to check around unless you can guide me?

Hi Pablo2074,

Thank you for jumping in on this! I have been using Google Messages on my tablet and phone so that I am consistent, and it's generally a decent app, but I like Verizon Message + better, mainly for asthetics. I can't however get it to do "scheduled" messages, even though they claim it works but I have not been able to! I use that feature a fair bit because I'm up so late and don't want to bother people late. I do it mostly so that I don't forget to tell somebody something...I guess I could put it on my calendar or task list but this seems more efficient. So instead I just go over to the "tablet" side and out of DeX, and use Messages +. Too much effort!!

Thanks again for pursuing Samsung, hopefully they fix whatever they broke.

OneUI 5.1 didn't fix this issue, but I found a workaround.

Open "Settings" app
Enable Developper mode
1. Select "About tablet"
2. Select "Software information"
3. Tap "Build number" several times
Select "Developper options"
Turn on "Disable app compatibility policies" in "Apps" section

Hi, thanks so much, that does work! So like bill-e below, I hope I didn't break something else, lol! So two questions...

1) If I leave this in "Developer mode" open, which I have to I think, will this allow for other apps to have issues? It doesn't seem like it but I have a concern that this leaves the tablet to be vulnerable, especially since I don't know what I'm doing...

2) Should I take it out of Developer Mode while the tablet does an update? I have one scheduled tonight? I'll postpone until I hear

Again, thanks for your great assistance!

That worked for me with Message+ but it remains to be seen if it broke anything 😉
